New Zealand’s largest pay-TV operator, SKY Network Television, enlisted the services of Sony’s Professional Solutions and Services Division to help design and construct its first-ever high definition studio.

Completed in March this year, the high definition studio is now fully functional and has been described as a “huge achievement” by Greg Drummond, director of broadcasting at SKY.

Drummond said design and building of the studio within such a small time frame was a major undertaking.

“Construction coincided with the time we were going to launch our HD services,” he said. “We timed the studio rebuild to fit in with our production schedules.”

“Sony was considered for use in a competitive sense meaning we did look into using other parties before making our final decision,” said Drummond.
